At least 3,240 civilian deaths were recorded by hospitals in Iraq as a result of the recent war. Associated Press reporters visited 60 of the country's largest hospitals to review those records.

Here is a list of the 3,082 civilian fatalities in key cities:

Baghdad: 1,896 (recorded at 24 hospitals)

Najaf: 293 (four hospitals)

Karbala: 200 (one hospital)

Mosul: 118 (five hospitals)

Samawa: 112 (two hospitals)

Fallujah: 89 (one hospital)

Madain: 71 (one hospital)

Diwaniya: 61 (one hospital)

Kut: 52 (two hospitals)

Tikrit: 45 (one hospital)

An additional 158 fatalities were scattered among many small villages and towns and cities.

In Basra, Iraq's second biggest city, hospitals issued 413 death certificates and officials estimated 85 percent were for civilians, but the hospitals did not keep daily records listing civilian or military status of casualties. The AP did not include any Basra deaths in its count.
